My NYC-based family thought I was a little crazy when I told them we were getting married out in PA, but boy were they wow’d by the beauty of The Booking House. Words cannot express just how wonderful this venue is. From start-to-finish, we were/are absolutely over-the-moon about how our wedding day unfolded.

First, everyone on The Booking House team is so kind and thoughtful. Brittany (sales director) was our first point-of-contact and was more than happy to answer my first set of 101 questions. J.P. (owner) warmly greeted us at 8 AM on a Sunday (with some champagne) and gave us a comprehensive tour of the space where he answered my next set of 101 questions. And the coordination team — Aalea, Autumn, and Emilie — were all amazing sounding boards over 18 months of very tedious planning. This entire team was always quick to respond and share recommendations — they kept a very Type A, out-of-state bride from feeling overwhelmed.

Second, you can make this space 100% your own — it is truly a blank canvas. Every wedding at The Booking House is unique — definitely take a peek at their Instagram. Our wedding truly felt like OUR WEDDING versus some cookie-cutter event. I think we changed our vision 2 - 3 times before finally settling on the right style and it was actually… perfect. Every space/room looked even more beautiful than I could have possibly imagined.

Third, opting into The Booking House coordinator add-on was the best investment we made. Aalea was an absolute rockstar early on, and Autumn was my source of calm from 3 months out until when we left the venue at 11 PM that night. She kept us on track along the way and made what could have been a very stressful 24 hours very not stressful. Even our parents and wedding party were so impressed with how on-top-of-things Autumn was — from the rehearsal, to the morning of, through the ceremony and reception. She managed the arrival of all our vendors and oversaw the execution of the entire venue experience while we were spending time with our loved ones. There were at least 3x on our wedding day where I told Autumn that I was just so grateful to have her there. If you choose to have your wedding at The Booking House, please make sure to hire their in-house coordinator so you can actually enjoy your big day.

Our wedding was a literal dream come true. We had several guests tell us at and after our wedding that, “this was the best wedding I’ve ever been to.” I highly recommend this venue to couples who are not looking for a “same old, same old” catering hall, country club, or farm/barn wedding. If you’re looking for a magical, memorable, one-of-a-kind wedding, look no further.

The Booking House was phenomenal to work with from beginning to end! They were so helpful and communicative with everything leading up to our wedding and made the planning process seamless. And on the day of, everything went so well in large part due to The Booking House, its day-of coordinating and all of its staff. They're organized, hard-working and so helpful. Everyone was fantastic, and we'd highly recommend!

From the moment my wife and I set foot into The Booking House, we were truly captivated and knew it would be the venue we’d get married in! We wanted an industrial space for our big day, and The Booking House really exceeded our expectations. Its inherent charm, and the surrounding areas that provided several photograph opportunities, created an atmosphere that we fell in love with instantly. Our guests were all in awe of the stunning ceremony and reception space! From the very beginning, The Booking House staff were all so gracious and inviting. Our coordinator, Aalea, was an absolute delight to work with! She was on top of every detail, ensuring that everything was just as we had envisioned. Her responsive communication and dedication made the entire planning process stress-free, and we were confident to have our day in her hands. The Booking House truly has an exceptional team, and they also recommended vendors who worked so seamlessly together to make our day perfect. Even though we live in NYC, a piece of our heart will always be in Manheim. Thank you for bringing our wedding vision to life, and for making our day so special, magical, and memorable!
